Title: [UPDATE] WTB: Devil's Crush
Post by: FiftyQuid on June 27, 2012, 03:38:23 AM
Hi everyone, I've been wanting to buy both of these games since I started collecting back in March.  I managed to snag both off eBay, Alien Crush for $8.99 and Devil's Crush for $19.99 (I know I overpayed) but I never received the games.  I've filed a claim through eBay and PayPal which is still being worked out.

Anyway, the point is, I'm still looking for both of these games Devil's Crush.  I would be willing to pay $10 for either one and I will cover the shipping costs.  I'm looking for both compete in case with manual.  I don't need the original box.

I don't feel you overpaid.  Matter of fact, I think that both those prices are good, actually. (That is if they were in jewel case with manual.) These two titles are some of the most addictive ones in the TG16 library, IMO.  Maybe it will work out with the games getting here for you.  Either way, hope you get them both one way or another. Very nice titles for any TG16 collection.

Both were complete in case with manuals.  I'm pissed they we not delivered.  I'm fairly certain the Seller never shipped them.  I've had bad dealings before on eBay and you can always tell when you are going to have to file a dispute.  The same bullshit, "I sent it out last Friday" or "Sorry I was away all weekend" excuse.  It's been over 5 weeks since I won the auctions.  I have stuff shipped from the USA and Europe all the time and it never takes over 3 weeks.

I already showed that Alien Crush can be had for $9.  Why wouldn't I be able to get it for $10?

hmm.  No tracking info or proof of shipment?  Yeah, I would say you win this one and get refunded.  Sorry you had to go through that.  :(

Quid said he'd pay shipping on top of the $10, and don't bother quoting eBay prices.  This isn't eBay.

Apparently not what hotlinking is.


eBay fees/commision only apply to eBay.

I'm in the U.S. and the company I work for we send mail up to Canada all the time, just paperwork we have to send, nothing of value, but we have to send copies.  It takes weeks if it ever makes it at all.  We regularly are re-sending stuff.  Sometimes we just mail two separate copies because we figure we double our chances of not having to resend it again later. :) It's crazy.

It works both ways.  The postal service is reliable, but not 100%.

It seems no one has any spare copies.  I thought I'd be able to snag these off the forums for sure.  Oh well.  :cry:

It hasn't even been 24 hours.  Have patience or go to eBay.

thats right, so can someone please show me where to find good deals on this shit! it seems the only place where people are actually selling is on amazon or ebay.everywhere else is slim pickings or collector shit i dont want. ps i ALWAYS take into account shipping paypal fess etc, its realistic to me. cause if i pay 5 for r-type but then $10 on shipping then its not such a terrific deal now right? again i do this shit with car parts and have for a long time, same f*cken shitty rules apply just a different game.
